Frequently Asked Questions

Where are your candles made?

Our candles are hand poured in small batches in Cambridgeshire, UK using natural vegan wax and premium quality ingredients.

Why choose your candles over supermarket candles?

In contrast to commercial candles that are frequently mass-produced and loaded with paraffin, our candles are handmade in small batches with high-quality, phthalate-free fragrance oils, natural wax, and cotton wicks.

Why no flowers or glitter in your candles?

We focus on safety and simplicity. Dried flowers or glitter can create a fire risk when burning, so we keep our candles clean and natural for a safer experience.

Are your candles safe to burn all day?

We recommend burning your candle for no more than 3–4 hours at a time. This helps your candle last longer and ensures a safe, even burn.

What does the name Oli & Home mean?

Oli comes from olio (oil), a nod to the art of scent and the warmth it brings into our homes, a reflection of calm, simplicity, and comfort.

How long is shipping?

Orders are processed within 1–3 working days. Standard UK delivery takes around 2–5 days after dispatch. You’ll receive tracking details once your parcel is on its way.

Do you use recyclable packaging?

Yes. All of our packaging is recyclable or reusable, from the boxes to the paper tape. We keep it minimal and kind to the planet.
